LyondellBasell Petrothene® LP540200 High Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Applications PETROTHENE LP 5402-00 is a copolymer resin designed for blown film applications. This resin offers high stiffness, excellent appearance and bubble stability and good draw-down. LP 5402-00 is recommended for merchandise bags and multi-wall sack liners and barrier sheeting. It is also useful as a blend component for improved stiffness and machinability. Regulatory Status LP 5402-00 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration, regulation 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows the use of olefin polymer in “...articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food.” Specific limitations or conditions of use may apply. Processing Techniques Specific recommendations for processing LP 5402-00 can only be made when the processing conditions, equipment and end use are known. These are typical values and not to be construed as specific product limits. Data obtained from film produced in a 3½ in. (89 mm) blown film line, commercials available 8'”(203 mm) die, 415°F (213°C) melt extrusion temperature, 2.5:1 BUR, 1.25 mil This product is from the former Equistar product line.
